Answers: im runnin 10 miles tonight at 7 o clock what time should i eat

Eating a relatively calorie dense meal 2-4 hours before a race or several smaller meals between 2-5 hours before a race is absolutely essential for topping off muscle glycogen levels as well providing blood glucose for the intense activity ahead. By eating this meal, the activity will be fueled by the nutrients provided during the meal and will therefore be able to exercise for quite some time before the body is forced to use stored energy. This can end up delaying fatigue and improving performance. On the other hand, if you fail to eat or eat far too long before a race, your body will have used up all the nutrients from the last meal and even have dipped into stored energy well before you ever step foot on the racecourse. This can lead to premature fatigue and poor race performance. Here is an example of what the pre race meal should contain: 1 liter water, 2 whole eggs, 3 slices of whole wheat bread, 2 cups of fresh orange juice, 2 bananas, 3 cups of raisin bran,1 cup of low fat milk. Now go win that race!
